Either you will will be the Master of your mind, or someone else will.


I wrote this to one of the many someone's I've encountered who don't seem to perceive the problem with perceiving and expressing truth by quoting a charactoon from a movie.

One of the most powerful tools of controlling ones' consciousness is language.

*Always* express yourself in your own words.

That is not to say that quotes do not help us understand things - even quotes of things we hear in the media.

But reformulate the idea *in your own words* always unless you are quoting a real person. In which case, put the quote in quotation marks to remind yourself this is a quote, someone else's thoughts, not yours, and attribute it to the person who said it both to honor him or her and to maintain the integrity of your own identity.
